6 Months of Bliss

October 2, 2008

Today marks six months from that first fateful coffee date with S.  Since that time, we haven’t looked back.  I can’t believe how fast it has gone, and yet I can’t believe it has only been half a year.  Because I feel like I’ve known him forever.  And my family seems to dig him too – aunt and uncle invited him to their debate-watching  dinner tonight.

Witness the following exchange between S and my mother…

Mom:  I want to tell my grandkids someday about the history Barack Obama is making.  And tell them stories about this debate and how I felt about it.

S:  You mean my kids?

If that wasn’t the most blatant revelation of his intentions, I don’t know what is.  It sounds like he caught mom a little off-guard, but in a good way.

Whoulda thunk it?  I travel all the way to Africa to meet my first husband, go through a painful divorce, and swear off looking into the future with anyone for a very long time. Then it turns out my perfect person was literally in my backyard all along.

When you know, you just know.


Darn Tootin’

Just have to get something off my chest really quick:  Sarah Palin makes me ill.

Okay, I feel better.  :)
